1412 Words6 Pages

Overturning Roe v. Wade is Justifiabe When considering the overturning of Roe v. Wade, many arguments are for and against abortion for multiple reasons. To some people such as pro-choice activists, abortion is right because we are overpopulating the world, but to others such as pro-life activists, it is murder and everyone deserves to live no matter how populated the world is. There are also arguments between pro-chiocers and pro-lifers whether or not having an abortion can cause mental health problems such as depression. People also claim that the baby in the womb is just a clump of cells and they are not fully living because they have not developed all five senses in the early stages of the pregnancy. However, Roe v. Wade being overturned …show more content…

His argument contains that the baby inside the mother’s body does not have the right to be inside of her and should not use the mother's body to survive. (Hendricks). Although we all would not be here living on this planet without using our mothers’ bodies to grow and survive and be birthed, therefore his argument not making logical sense. To continue to grow and survive, we need our mothers when we are inside the womb and outside of the womb. Boonin supports Roe v. Wade, which just recently got overturned. Roe v. Wade was first ruled in 1973, which protects pregnant women and gives them the right to have an abortion no matter the circumstance of their pregnancy. The controversy over Roe v. Wade has been ongoing, with many people either supporting or not supporting it, but just recently in 2022, it got overturned which makes abortions unlawful and considered illegal, closing down many clinics. Of course, Boonin does not agree with this, and neither do most men and women, but the ones who do support the overturning of Roe v. Wade have logical …show more content…

This baby that is growing in the mother's body will become a child and then an adult and could have the most amazing life. That child could end up being super successful and loving their life, and that will never happen to those 1.2 million babies aborted each year. Also, just because it is the mother's body and she has the right to do what she wants, doesn’t mean that the baby growing inside of her doesn’t have the right to live, because everyone has the right to live, including those unborn children. (Why Abortion Is Bad for America - ProQuest). In addition to this argument, pro-choice activists that say that the unborn child is not living, nor is the fetus a personareis incorrect. An embryo or a fetus may not be a person yet, but it will end up becoming a person. It will start breathing, being able to feel pain, have a heartbeat, etc. That fetus has DNA and cells and was created by two living,

    Wade, one of the most controversial cases of it's time, and of today. Many beg the question: do women have the right to decide what to do with their unborn child? Some say “ it is her body, and she has the right to do as she pleases; and some say absolutely not”. In the 1960s there was no laws regulating abortions, because most states had already placed a complete banned on the procedure. The only way one could have an abortion performed, is if the life of the mother was in danger.

    In California, however, an abortion facility was built in almost every county, which contributed to a very high abortion rate. That rate would not have been effected much if Roe v. Wade was overturned since California created a law stating that “any interference with a woman exercising her right to obtain an abortion before viability or when necessary to protect the life and health of the woman” was prohibited (Allott, 2011, p. 95).

    In Olson’s article on “Was I Ever a Fetus” he states that even scientists prove that embryos are not persons, “embryologists tell us that a human fetus that is less than about six months old cannot remember or experience anything, and has no mental capacities worthy of the name… One's psychological contents or capacities could not be continuous with those of a being with no psychological contents or capacities at all…nothing could be a fetus-or at any rate a fetus that cannot yet think-at one time and a person later on. No person was ever a fetus, and no fetus ever becomes a person”. If we say that a fetus is a human then we are saying that an acorn is already an oak tree and a seed is already a flower, although these objects have the potential to become something, they are not yet actually connected to that future object and therefore are not the future object, they are a whole different type of form. So as Olson explained in his article, since a fetus is not a person, especially because it is not aware of what is going on because it has no psychological contents, then it wouldn’t even matter if it was to be aborted, because it is not feeling anything, the only person feeling a thing is the mother, the carrier of the fetus.

    When the topic of abortion comes up many justify their opposition with it should be illegal because it takes away lives. However, the reversal of Roe v. Wade is a violation of human rights taking away women's rights to their bodies and placing a burden on women to go through a pregnancy that could result in the death of the child and the mother. Therefore, I believe that reversal of Roe V. Wade is unjust and shouldn't be followed. The ability to make decisions about your body has always been an important right for women, tracing back to the 1800s, women have been in a constant fight to be recognized as capable, independent, and allowed to live freely. By going backward in history to take away women's rights to their bodies by banning abortion,

    Some argue that it is not and it is the other way around. That having an abortion is an abomination, saying that there is a baby at conception, in some cases that idea formed by religious members quoting bible verses. (Jeremiah 1:5). King David said this about God’s role in our conception: "For you created my inner being; you knit myself together in my mother’s womb”. Which is not true, inside the mothers womb it is a developing fetus not a baby.

    The Supreme Court was ruled on January 22, 1973 in which the Constitution of the United States ruled the right to have an abortion. As this constitutional right held strong for nearly 50 years, the justices who are hostile to this abortion right have dominated the supreme court and have turned the situation around. By the overturning of Roe v. Wade, we have lost 50 years of history and have taken our power of personal decisions, harming, and affecting the community in many ways. Although abortion can be portrayed negatively because of its harm to life, abortion should be legal because of its safe medical procedures protecting

    Roe vs. Wade is the highly publicized Supreme Court ruling that overturned a Texas interpretation of abortion law and made abortion legal in the United States. The Roe v. Wade decision held that a woman, with her doctor, has the right to choose abortion in earlier months of pregnancy without legal restriction, and with restrictions in later months, based on the right to privacy. As a result, all state laws that limited women 's access to abortions during the first trimester of pregnancy were invalidated by this particular case. State laws limiting such access during the second trimester were upheld only when the restrictions were for the purpose of protecting the health of the pregnant woman. Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in the greater United States, which was not legal at all in many states and was limited by law in others.

    The Right to Abortion On January 22, 1973, in a 7-2 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down it’s landmark decision in the case of Roe v. Wade, which recognized that the constitutional right to privacy extends to a woman’s right to make her own personal medical decisions — including the decision to have an abortion without interference from politicians (Planned Parenthood). There are many moments in history when Roe v. Wade has been so close to being overturned, yet it is still in place. Abortion should stay legal, or not overturned, for the health of women everywhere. First, this important case took place at the time of abortion being illegal in most states, including Texas, where Roe v. Wade began.

    Before Roe v. wade the number of deaths from illegal abortions was around 5000 and in the 50s and 60s the number of illegal abortions ranged from 200,000 to 1.2 million per year. These illegal abortions pose major health risks to the life of the woman including damage to the bladder, intestines as well as rupturing of the uterus. The choice to become a mother must be given to the woman most importantly because it’s her body, her health, and she will be taking on a great responsibility. A woman’s choice to choose abortion should not be restricted by anyone; there are multiple reasons why abortion will be the more sensible decision for the female.
